Are You In The Way?

Are You In The Way?

Are You In The Way?

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are.” Psalm 25:4-5 NIV

I remember those summers spending time at my grandparents’ house, and how my cousins and I would always find ourself staring at the television screen right in front of where granddaddy was sitting. Well he had no problems reminding us kids, that we weren’t made out of glass to see through and to move out the way.

It reminds me how sometimes the action of distractions can put us in the way. But even in those DISTRACTIONS, God wants us to trust his way, will, and process. I believe the question of are you in the way, gives way to the thoughts of are we trusting God, to just get out of the way.

What does getting out of the way look like? It is trusting God’s word, following His lead, watching what only He can do in our lives, a willingness to leave everything in His capable hands, and the faith that he knows what is best for us.  I remember the lighting flashing and the thunder roaring when I stayed at my grandparents. My grandmother would tell my cousins and I, to be quiet, God is working.  Even as kids we were taught about the importance of respecting God, and when he is in motion our best bet is to quietly get out the way. Amen.

Remember friends, we are each others’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Take Heart

Take Heart

Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect. I am here to inspire, encourage, and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his Word.

Now let us dress our soul like we dress our bodies, EVERYDAY!

Take Heart

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV

Let me just start that scripture off with the biggest amen I got! AMEN! Can you see our Father sitting there with you as he encourages you to be strong and of Good courage? I see his hand upon my shoulder as he tells me not to fear or be afraid of them. Quietly in my mediation the tears flow from my eyes as he says to me with tender loving care, that he is the Lord My God, and he is the One who goes with me and that he will not leave me or forsake me. Children of the Most High God, look up to the hills from whence cometh your help!!

The word tells us to,” Wait for the LORD; be strong and “take heart” and wait for the LORD. “Psalm 27:14 NIV. What does that mean? It means to be brave, courageous, stouthearted, and confident. Take heart is defined as to gain courage or confidence: to begin to feel better and more hopeful taking heart; things will get better soon.

Do not think the enemy doesn’t believe in you, because he does. That’s why he’s always hassling you and acting a dang fool with all of his trickery! He is petty and wants to get you out of your character. He wants our peace, joy, and happiness. He is willing to do whatever it takes, to get us to believe his hype. But Look at the Son of God, coming to the rescue as he reminds us to be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world. This is our inner peace and the victory Christ gives to his followers. Satan was no match for King Jesus then and that still remains the same today!

Remember we are each others keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
